Engines

Proper engine maintenance is essential to

performance and reliability of your outboard

engines. Maintenance schedules and proce-

dures are outlined in your engine owner's

manual, follow them exactly.

Flush the system when the boat is out of the

water. If the boat is used in saltwater, flush

daily.

The age of gasoline can affect engine per-

formance. Chemical changes occur as the

gasoline ages, causing deposits and varnish

in the fuel system and reduces the octane

rating of the fuel. Degraded fuel can damage

the engine and boat fuel tank and lines. If

your boat does not require at least one full

tank of fresh fuel a month, add a fuel stabi-

lizer to the gasoline to protect the fuel from

degradation. Use only a fuel stabilizer rec-

ommended by your dealer or the engine

manufacturer. Operate the boat at least 15

minutes after adding the stabilizer to allow

the treated fuel to reach the engine. Your

dealer or engine manufacturer can provide

additional information on fuel degradation.

For more recommendations for your specific

area, check with your local Pursuit dealer.

Avoid using fuels with alcohol additives.

Gasoline, extended with an alcohol blend,

will absorb moisture from the air which can

reach such concentrations that "phase sepa-

ration" can occur where the water and alco-

hol mixture becomes heavy enough to settle

out of the gasoline to the bottom of the tank.

Since the fuel pick-up tube is near the bot-

tom of the tank, phase separation can cause

the engine to run poorly or not at all. This

condition is more severe with methyl alcohol

and will worsen as the alcohol content

increases. Water or a jelly like substance in

the fuel filters is an indication of possible

phase separation from the use of alcohol

blended fuels.

Contact your Pursuit dealer or engine manu-

facturer for additional information regarding

fuels and additives.

Corian® Surfaces

Corian® is resistant to heat, but you should

always use a hot pad or a trivet with rubber

feet to protect Corian®. Avoid exposing

Corian® to strong chemicals, such as paint

removers, oven cleaners, etc. If contact

occurs, flush the surface with water immedi-

ately. Soapy water or ammonia-based clean-

ers will remove most dirt and stains from all

types of finishes.

DO NOT use the Corian® countertop as a

cutting board.

Minor damage, scratches, general or chemi-

cal stains, scorches or burns and minor

impact marks can be repaired on-site with a

light abrasive cleanser and a product such

as a Scotch-Brite® pad. For heavier dam-

age, light sanding may be necessary. Heavy

damage should be repaired by a Corian®

licensed professional.

Tempered Glass Sink

For best results:

• DO NOT use strong/abrasive cleaner.

Test your cleaning solution on an unno-

ticeable area first, before applying to the

entire surface.

• Wipe surfaces clean, immediately after

applying cleaner.

• DO NOT allow cleaner to sit or soak on

the surface.

• DO NOT use an abrasive brush or

scouring pad to clean surfaces as dam-

age will occur. Use only a soft, damp-

ened sponge and cloth.

• Rinse and wipe the fixtures to prevent

soap build-up.
